Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl combine oats, nuts, coconut (if desired), sunflower kernels, wheat germ, and flaxseed meal. In a small saucepan stir together honey, chocolate, and oil. Heat and stir over low heat just until chocolate melts. Stir into oat mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until light brown, stirring after 20 minutes. Spread on a large piece of foil; cool completely. Stir in white baking pieces and semisweet pieces. Place granola in tin; close tin.
